Caitlin Dennett doesn't normally associate Tussey Mountain with summer fun.

"Usually you don't think of Tussey Mountain other than snow," Dennett (junior-mathematics) said.

But tonight, Tussey will feature a concert by popular Jimmy Buffet tribute band Garratt Wilkin & The Parrotheads.

"They are one of the bands touring around the country right now that does one of the best jobs reenacting Jimmy Buffett music," said Dave Fahrenbach, Tussey Mountain's general manager. "I think summertime Jimmy Buffet music is probably some of the most popular of all time."

Garratt Wilkin & The Parrotheads take the stage at 7:30 p.m. and will play until 10 p.m.

"That would actually be really cool," Dennett said. "That would definitely be something cool to go and do for a road trip."

The cost of admission is $5, and Tussey expects upward of 3,000 in attendance, Fahrenbach said. He added the event is open to all ages and does not cater to one specific age group.

"It's festival style," Fahrenbach said. "All of the seating is on grassy slopes or people can bring chairs."

The concert kicks off the first of seven Wings Fests held Thursday nights at Tussey Mountain this summer. Local restaurants will provide wings to go along with the weekly entertainment, Fahrenbach said.

Quaker Steak & Lube is serving four different types of wings -- hot, barbecue, Louisiana Liquor and Arizona Ranch, said John Seely, general manager for Quaker Steak & Lube.

Wing tickets are $1 and guests are served three wings for one ticket, Seely said.

"It's definitely a marketing effort," he said. "We don't make a profit."

Dennet said the prices were "really reasonable" for something students can do in State College during the summer.

Tussey will also feature foods such as funnel cakes, French fries, hot dogs, lemonade, orangeade and chicken fingers, as well as beer and margaritas for those older than 21, Fahrenbach said.

Children younger than 10 can enjoy face painting and other activities, he said.

"It's a pretty inexpensive admission price for a pretty overall fun evening," Fahrenbach said.
